It was Ryu, but the last 2 months I switched to Akuma. Still don’t know how to approach the match up when I’m up against a patient Juri who is committed to zoning and keeping a close eye on when I throw fireballs to blow it up.
I’m so used to coffee that sometimes it just makes me sleepy.
I need an energy drink before playing online ranked though, it’s the only way to feel concentrated.
[details=Spoiler] The main issue when dealing with Juri players is that she can just nope your midrange game, especially if you’re too reliant on your fireballs.
Never use red fireball, it’s really easy to V-Skill/Axe Kick it on reaction.
Be careful with your buttons, her St. MK is a real threat in neutral. You need to learn how to punish it if she gets too reliant on it. That thing reaches far and it’s a 5 framer, so it can hit you on the startup of your crush counters.
Jumping’s easier with Air Fireball, but still risky. Patient Juri’s have her AA’s on point.
Do not let her Store her specials, especially her Fireball.
Try to fake her out by doing empty QCFs in neutral. If she expects an FB and tries to VS it, you can attempt to neutral jump and punish or block and punish it.
The best opportunity you’ll have to steal momentum is on the very start of the round. Backdash into Stores need to be punished ASAP. Even a KD FB can do the trick since you can use the KD to run up to her.
If she tries something else, like Axe Kick or uncharged VS to punish a FB, she’s open to whatever punish you want.
And remember, Akuma actually gets some mileage off his VS in this matchup. Juri can’t scrap with him, he deals too much damage. Parrying St. MK and doing a VS~K followup combo is almost sure to mentally scar the Juri player.
Remember to never pick Ryu in this matchup. Worst decision ever.[/details]
I usually Just drink water and orange/lemon juice, the latter two I much prefer to soda (I do drink soda but only every once in a while, for some reason I don’t feel like drinking it every week like I used to anymore).
Never got into coffee tbh, the taste is not too bad to me but I just don’t like It much.
Also related to drinking, beer just completely sucks to me, the taste is godawful and I dunno what the appeal of it is.
